End The Suffering

Until yesterday evening I had no idea how huge a role post-it notes (the ones with adhesive, of course: the only ones worthy of the name) played in my life. any one who knows me know mosty the time I work for a couple of IT support companies and I am a massive user of post it notes, they are fantasic as makeshift to do notes which can be placed physical where they are needed.

But this week upon arriving at the Post Office to find that they did not have any adhesive post-it notes, I was soon to find out…

Backed into a corner, I was left with no other choice but to purchase the lesser and unenviably rubbish post-it notes which do not have adhesive. I then took them home and started to label up the book I had been writing, placing the notes in amongst the pages as I went, so as to keep track of what was terrible writing, what needed to be moved, and what would have to be erased on my computer.

And it was then that a freak gust of wind – which came from nowhere I might add, and I definitely didn’t come from me – tore through the apartment – or it seemed like that, but I may be being a bit over-dramatic – and took it upon itself to flip the book upon, scattering the notes all over the place!

This caused a miniature breakdown, as I was at page 93 and had spent a good 4 hours enclosed in my fantasy land, thinking I had made good progress. I then spent a further four 3 hours sellotaping the bits of paper back in again (even though I had no idea really of where each note had come from, as some bits of writing now seemed more terrible than when I first looked, and others looked like they weren’t even written by me).

Seriously, I implore you, whatever your career – be you a high-flying mortgage broker or a fisherman – to only purchase the adhesive post-it notes from now on. Let us al pull together, and with any luck the people behind this thriving and awful industry will take notice and stop producing these utterly useless things.

Graffiti – Creative Expression or Vandalism?

Graffiti is the name given to the images or scribbling done on walls or other properties, to be viewed by the public. Dating back from the ancient Greece and Roman Empire, graffiti still exists in modern times. Many people have an opinion that graffiti is a form of art that deserves to be appreciated and spread. They have a point when they say that it brightens up the environment. It is a way in which the artist expresses his feelings, and many times, delivers a message to the public.

However, others have a different opinion, they consider it vandalism. Scribbling done on the walls make the surroundings ugly. They might be right as well, because the newer generation is misusing this form of art making it mere vandalism .It is considered illegal in many countries and the maker of graffiti is considered worthy of being punished. Some governments even spend a big sum of money to erase all the graffiti, so what is the use of the artist spending all his energy and skills to make graffiti, and then waiting for it to be erased.

The topic that whether graffiti is a form of creative expression or vandalism is a controversial one , and is still under debate because it totally depends on people’s opinion , as the saying goes “Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder” so does graffiti. Many can see the creativity in it, while many are against it calling it a source of vandalism.

So who know maybe they will want to use the same process that is used in home laser hair removal to remove all the graffiti from the buildings and other sites from across the city. That is if they see it as vandalism.

A Bad Addiction

Poor old Jeremy Kyle, he gets a really hard time of it, when, in fact, the guy’s just trying to help people see the error of their way using his highly unique brand of psychology and empathizing.

Or is he?

Whatever you think of the man, if you have ever seen his show then you will understand implicitly that the bloke is providing a very important service to the people of Great Britain: he’s reminding all of us who don’t have ten offspring from five different women that we are actually really quite lucky to not have all that hassle. And for that, I suppose he deserves a thanks, of sorts.

The bit of the show that’s addictive, as most people who have accidentally wandered onto the show will be very aware, is the DNA Test bit. It’s the part of the show when you can hear a pin drop and when whole futures are to be decided…depending on what Jeremy Kyle says! Even those who absolutely hate JK will be unable to switch off at this highly captivating moment.

Of course, there’s only so much of it you can take, and the thing about these shows is that they are generally all the same. The same kinds of people making the same kind of shambolic gargantuan mistakes. But still, I find myself watching it anyway, wondering if there is something in the water that is making people mess up their lives like this over and over again (there isn’t, I don’t think, but then, who knows).

My advice for you, if you have never seen Jeremy Kyle on TV, is to give it a go. At the very least it should cheer you up a bit and make you realize how lucky you are.

I Wish It Didn’t Have To End Like This…

Back when I first discovered argos.co.uk discount codes and the internet was in its infancy, we used to be friends. Good friends. Nothing could come between us, no, we were solid. Others came along and I tried them out – admittedly behind its back – but I always went back to it. And this was how it remained, through marriages, births and deaths (1: my great granddad who I never really met, so that doesn’t even count, not really). But now I feel we have come to the natural end of our relationship. As much as it hurts me to the core to admit it, I think this is the end and I wish, oh, how I WISH it could be another way.

But Google, you had to do it, didn’t you? You weren’t happy how you were and you had to go and evolve. You could have stayed the same old humble search engine, but there you have it, you saw a potential to progress and now look where we are!

Google instant searching, I absolutely hate you. For two reasons:

1) Every time you type a word in you end up miss-spelling it because Google blocks certain letters as it predicts what you want to search for. News for you Google: it doesn’t speed the search up, not really, it’s just very annoying. Type in Garden Fork and you end up looking at a website to do with Garden Gnomes. It’s just irritating, and why should I have to sign out of my Google account to make this go away? Honestly, it’s ridiculous, so sort it out, I beg you. Let’s get back on track, you and me, just like old times, you know?

2) Did I mention it gets my goat?

Dragon Dodger

You know the score: some things you lie to your mates about, and others you don’t. You REALLY need to know the difference if you want to get through this life with the minimum of hassle. An expensive dress, for example, you should always lie about, because that’s just the way it is and that’s the way it tends to work best for all parties involved. Never tell a woman it’s not good if she’s really happy with it, etc (unless you want to be punched in the stomach), but with other things, such as when your friend purchases some horrible looking limited edition sculptures and they look very cheap (because they were quite cheap) then you should ALWAYS be honest to begin with, I can tell you. Why? Because if you’re not initially honest then it will come back to haunt you later…

This obscure yet very real situation has recently happened to me. I had told a mutual friend how much I hated Jane’s ornamental flying dragons – dragons that stand on the floor but LOOK as though they’re flying – and word had got back to Jane, so the next time we saw one another I had to explain why I had lied, and it was not pretty…

Basically, my point is that this is something you really have to watch (either that, or you have to get outlandishly good at lying and be able to follow it up by looking calm and not sweating, which is quite a feat). It’s always much better to own up to hating someone’s ornamental flying dragons when you first see them, that way you won’t have to suddenly jump out of the way of said flying dragons when the pair of them get thrown directly at your head.

This Weeks Fire-ee (Is that A Word? Malissa Probably Thinks So…)

The Apprentice, it’s got everything you could ever want in a TV show, the modern equivalent of Gladiators, if you will: people who think they’re a hundred times better than everyone else (but are actually more irritating than even Luton Airport Parking ), intense un-missable drama in the board room, and the ability to make even the calmest TV watching person burst into furious rage as he or she tries to comprehend (I said tries…) what the contestants are thinking as they battle it out to become Alan Sugar’s apprentice. Today’s episode was one of the best in a while, and saw a new force in disbelieving arrogance thrust onto our screens in the shape of blonde haired moronic maniac Malissa.

Ok, so perhaps that’s a bit harsh, but what else do you call someone who absolutely refuses to listen to what even Lord Sugar has to say? Someone who appears to be fundamentally incapable of learning from her (very obvious I might add) mistakes? Even better than that, on the show which follows – You’re Fired! – Malissa purported herself to be likeable, funny and dare I say it…A good business woman who employers should queue up to hire. Also, she’d died her hair, (a disguise, perhaps?) but wouldn’t you if every single person in London and beyond had witnessed such extremist and unacceptable behaviour week after week?

Who knows where Malissa will strike next, but one thing is for sure: this young lady has set an example of exactly what NOT to do if you want to have a long and successful career.And if the rest of the UKs young business population are anything like the contestants then that’s a lesson that couldn’t have come sooner if you ask me.

Monkey Face Haters Beware

Each and every one of us, like it or not, have our own things we can not stand. We know they make no sense and can’t be reasonably explained – there being no clear reason, of course – but still we are unable to grow to love them, or even consider changing our minds and becoming more positive in order to live fuller and happier lives. For some it might be people with a beard, or the words “Heathrow Airport”, or the face of a Makak monkey (not sure if that’s spelt right but I can see why one might develop a grudge against these tree-dwelling weirdos: they are small, hairy, and have odd little faces that seem to always be very, very angry), but for me it is Ginsters sausage rolls, people who say “that filled a hole!” and the word “incredible.” Oh dear, that word, for me, is AWFUL. After an ex-girlfriend used THAT word in EVERY single sentence we ever conversed with when we were an item in 1998, I have become chief hater of this once innocent word. I don’t know what the hell it is about the THAT word, but I just can’t deal with it. It makes me see the Red Mist. I have got to the point where I can now not comment on it when someone mentions it, but I would still rather eathorse-hair on toast and do any number of jobs in beirut lebanon (including ones where kidnapping was an almost certainty) than be forced to say that word out loud more that four or five times in a row.

Now, having written that, I can see how you would think I am quite strange…But I’m not, not really. Honest. Oh dear I think I may just be making it worse now…

Bless My Nan

My nan, bless her, swore by her knackered old cheap gas cooker. It was an enormous thing that took up half the kitchen and weighed about as much as a Morris Minor. She was talented, was my nan: you had to be to get that dreadful thing working. In fact, she was the only person in the entire world who could actually use the cooker.
Whenever my granddad attempted to get it to work something bad happened (he said it was cursed and I believe him), and usually he gave up within about five minutes. Which was best, because that thing seemed to have it in for anyone who wasn’t my nan… When that dear old cooker finally departed this earth – being crushed into a block, to serve a new purpose as thousands of knives and forks, probably – it was in a right old state, and very, very stubborn.
By the end of its life, tragically, my nan was starting to have trouble with it, too. The main problem was it leaked gas, which meant that me and my family lived in the perpetual fear that gas would flood their house and kill off my granddad and nan before their days were really up. Or that one day, in an amazing end-of-movie scenario, the house would blow up amazingly and be featured on the news.
I know it’s wrong but I sort of hoped that if anything bad had to happen then the house would explode. It wasn’t that I wished it upon them, it was just that I thought that would be a fitting end. And also I considered often that if there was a way for me to go out, that would be spot on: dramatic and exciting. What more could you ask for?

Make Someone Feel Special Today

Head on over to the link if you have been thinking about making a change in your life for a while but haven’t quite managed to do it yet. Although the article is more about energy saving, and how to be good at it, which is very important of course, I couldn’t help but think of how important it is to stay in contact with friends, too, and how making a change and writing to someone you haven’t seen for a while is such an invaluable thing to do. Like saving energy, saving friendships is something that tends to fall by the wayside so often. What with the busyness that life brings with it, day in, day out, we often forget about people we once used to spend a lot more time with. It’s understandable of course, but it’s also something that can be rectified with one short phone call. And you never know, you might just make that person’s day. Yes, you know you think about them a lot, but how do they when you don’t let them know? Fortunately, both saving energy and saving friendships are things which technology helps us with. For staying in touch with friends we have Facebook and other social networking sites, and for saving energy we have Enigin and other companies that take pride in saving us lots of lovely money. So why not start today? Give someone a ring who you haven’t seen in a while, and see how they are doing. You don’t have to turn the lights off and sit in the dark, but you could do if you wanted.
